This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse

Em

Under blue moon I saw you

C

So soon you'll take me

Em

Up in your arms to late to beg you

C

Or cancel it though I know it must be

Em

The killing time

C

Unwillingly mine

Chorus

G Cm G

Fate, up against your will

Cm G

Through the thick and thin

Cm G

He will wait until

Cm G Cm

You give yourself to him

Em /// Em /// C /// C ///

Verse

Em

In starlit nights I saw you

C

So cruelly you kissed me

Em

Your lips a magic world

C

The sky all hung with jewels

Em

The killing moon

C

Will come too soon

Chorus

G Cm G

Fate, up against your will

Cm G

Through the thick and thin

Cm G

He will wait until

Cm G Cm

You give yourself to him
